It evokes that era somewhat, but the crown isn't tall enough in my opinion. If you want to go with a new hat rather than finding a vintage one, check out Akubra and Christys as well as Stetson's Vintage collection. Beaver Brand is always an option but they are getting pricey to the point that a custom hat isn't much more of an investment.

what is the name of Bogart's Fedora
in the Maltese Falcon[huh]

If you want a hat like that, you're either gonna have to find a vintage hat, or go custom.

The Akubra Federation 4 from www.hatsdirect.com is an open crown 30's styled hat and comes close.

www.penmanhats.com <-- John has been working on a really great looking Bogart hat:

Could somebody tell me, if talking in the shape names used by Panama Bob on his website (http://panamas.biz/cuenca.html) which shape resembles with the shape of the panama hat sean connery wears in the Louis Vuitton commercial on the back of every Time Magazine and such? (http://www.thebaglady.tv/seanconnery_louisvuitton-thumb-430x274.jpg)

Also, while the above one is a little low for my taste, I noticed this one on a panama hat website: http://www.startrip.tv/images/2007/05/23/johnny_depp.jpg

As you see that one appears much higher (kinda like a fedora, no?), which shape would that be on the panama bob website which I link to above?

Thank you very much!!!

Is there a name for this type of hat?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Vintage...0?pt=US_Hats&hash=item3cb6e4cdf0#ht_500wt_922

I've seen this type of hat in a lot of photos from the early 1900s, specifically the Edwardian period. Now I would say it's a homburg, but the crown is usually pretty low, and the brim is rolled up on the sides. Is it just an old type of homburg? I've taken to calling it a "gentleman's cowboy hat", although I'm sure that's not the proper term.

I would say that bothe hats have similar if not the same crown heights it's merely a matter of camera angle that gives the impression of different heights. As for a PB model, any of his in the Cabellero style would be what you would want. He has this shape in both the Cuenca Panama's and Montecristi's. I have 5 in that style out of my 7 Panama's and like it alot.
